Moderator Corner
Welcome to the POD from the MOD!
Here we will discuss all things having to do with the FDDR video feed. We encourage you to submit any questions you may have.
❤HAPPY FEBRUARY❤
Hello everyone! It's now the month of L♡VE!.
With that being said. We Thank each and everyone one of you for showing so much L♡ve and support. We are trying something new. Each week we will post in the feed what items we are in need of to help our extended family stay safe & warm. If you are able to help we thank you so much for doing so. We get a lot of questions asking what we are in need of this is a way you can help FDDR.
We also ask when we have the Moderator of the day on you allow them to answer questions as we are trained to do this. It also helps limit the confusion of what is needed and where they can find certain links . If our website is posted to many times Facebook doesn't like that. It will cause us to be on restriction and that prevents people from seeing us. We do everything on donations. Without donations we wouldn't be able to help the ones in need. Also if we get negative people in the feed, we ask that you ignore them. Don't respond! That's what they are looking for. We are on the feed to handle them. I can insure you if they do not get the attention they are looking for they will leave.
We do thank everyone for being with us daily. For sharing our post and helping. Our extended family thank you 😊 keep being amazing and remember
Never look down on someone unless your helping them up. Have a blessed & safe day. Much love 💘 ♡Lizz♡

Wow it’s February already!!
💞
happy early Valentine’s Day.
💖
Boy these months are flying by. I hope everyone is having a great start to 2021.
MEAL TRAIN 🚂!!
What is our meal train you ask?
The meal train is our schedule for the month. This is where you sign up to cook a meal. You can find our meal train on the website & Facebook page. To sign up you can go to the meal train sign in with using your email and create a username. It’s super easy, it takes you to the calendar where you can pick a open day to cook a meal or do a add on meal. You can do as many meals as you would like.
What would you cook you ask?
Sloppy Joe’s, spaghetti, meat loaf or even sandwiches (2 sandwich’s per meal). The meal count doesn’t have to be a high number. You can start out with 10, 15 or 20 meals. That’s what we call a add on meal!! Any little bit helps give our Rose a break from cooking. If the meal train isn’t full Rose & Mat have to fill it by cooking the meal themselves.
A really good way to start cooking is signing up on our meal train on our community meal day. Every second Saturday of the month we do a community meal. We ask 10 people to make 10 (or more) meals to come together as a community. Super easy & it gives you a super warm feeling to help others down on their luck.
🌟Cook/Sponsor a meal to help the hungry. ♥️

If you wanna help in a way but are out of state, sponsor a meal. We have Sandy or myself who will cook a meal in your name. Sending a little bit of money helps us decide what meal or how many meals we can cook.
Donate to Sponsor/Cook a meal
$10,$20,$40 or $100 no donation is to small!!

We also have a way you can help with pizza/fast food day. Any amount that’s donated is banked to the next fast food day. The days are random!! This is another way to give Rose & Mat a little break. We do $5 pizza’s and 1 pizza feeds 4 people. Think about that...1 pizza feeds 4 people. $5 that’s it!! So don’t think your little bit won’t help. 4 PEOPLE will have a warm meal with your little donation. If you’re able to send more that’s great,, we can add for pizza & pop.
Pizza 🍕 is a treat for our friends on the streets 🍕. Help with the cost for pizza & pop!

Have a blessed February till next month!
Much love 💕 and respect 💖 Dina 💘
